Uncorrected proof, fine in light blue paperwraps with "Short" x'ed out on cover and lower rear tip of cover and last few pages slightly bumped. Very scarce.

Near fine with very light rubbing to the edges, in a dust jacket that has an approximately 3x4" skinned potion on the front panel that partially obscures the title. Dust jacket otherwise (that's a big otherwise) has minor wear, with shallow chips and a few closed tears to the spine ends.

London: Macmillan & Co. 1932. First edition. One of 310 SIGNED "large paper" copies. Very fine condition in acetate wrapper which we assume was added. We assumed it was not issued in a regular dust jacket but seen in either acetate or glassine, however we were informed by Charles Folcke that it was issued in a white dust jacket with title, author and Macmillan on front and spine.

Walters, Minette.THE ECHO.

(London): Macmillan, (1997). First edition. SIGNED by the author on the title page. Fine in dust jacket.

London: Printed for the Booksellers, 1812. Originally published in 1695, this little book (a little larger than 3 x 5 inches) reveals designing women's secrets -- "Teaching: 1. Of her allurements, Inconstancy, Love, Revenge, Pride and Ingratitude. 2. A pleasant and profitable Discourse in defence of married men, against peevish, fretful and scolding Wives; with several notable examples of the Mischiefs and Miseries which have attended their Lust and Pride. 3. A true character of a virtuous Woman, or Wife indeed." Small, 32mo. 95 pages. Cover worn (appears to be original) and pages considerably darkened but readable, with some foxing and water staining. We note one other online (1835) with a woodcut frontis, which apparently did not appear in this edition. There is, however, an enlightening news item pasted inside the rear cover elucidating a 1770 law enacted by the English Parliament against obtaining husbands under false pretenses, i.e., using "scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron [iron?], iron stays, bolstered hips, or high-heeled shoes." Oh my. CONVENIENTLY POCKET-SIZED.

(New York: Knopf, no-date [1933]). First edition. The eventual Borzoi Chap Book number TWO in a presumed trial binding and/or dust jacket resembling the trade issue but unsewn and with "This is number THREE of THE BORZOI CHAP BOOKS" on back of jacket. Near fine.

Johnson to be a member of the commission issuing the report. Ford was appointed vice president in 1973 by Richard M. Nixon after Spiro T.

Warren, Robert Penn.ELEVEN POEMS ON THE SAME THEME.

Norfolk: New Directions, (1942). First edition. In the New Directions "Poet of the Month" series. His second collection of poetry. Fine in plain stiff paperwraps in dust jacket which is slightly faded on spine and has a small crease at top of front panel. There was also a small simultaneous edition in boards.

([Warsaw], Poland): Panstwowy Instytut Wydawniczy, (1960). First Polish edition, with a prologue by Bronislaw Zielinski. Paperwraps, in dust jacket. Reprinted in 1962 in boards, and then again in 1964 in two volumes (Grimshaw J22a). This appears to have been Warren's personal copy, with "1st printing--20,000" apparently in Warren's hand. We purchased the book from a dealer who bought it from bibliographer and collector Stuart Wright, who is known to have received books from Warren's personal library. Small ink stamp inside rear cover, spine a little creased, otherwise near fine in white, printed paperwraps and dust jacket. Dust jacket shows light edge rubbing, few tiny nicks, and slight tanning at spine, otherwise very good to near fine. Scarce.
